Desertshore, "Mercy (feat. Mark Kozelek)"

Erstwhile Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon guitarist Phil Carney continues to craft beautifully downcast music with his latest project, Desertshore. Featuring former bandmate—and mope rock master—Mark Kozelek guesting on vocals and bass, "Mercy" is a song as achingly lovely as anything from those previous bands. Hushed and gentle, it pairs acoustic guitar and Kozelek's doleful vocals into a heavy-hearted lamentation on life and love. – Kali Holloway, Google Music
